Wiener Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke: Band 14 Der ewige Spießer

The novel The Eternal Philistine (1930) established Horváth’s reputation as a sharp-witted critic of his time. This historical critical edition for the first time provides comprehensive insight into Horváth’s creation process. Specially developed graphics show the ultramodern cut-and-paste technique of the author and demonstrate the extensive changes he made from the first versions (among them the novel Thirty-Six Hours) up to the final text version.
